at the moment at least, we're not aware of any coordination between putin's people and donnie's people.

in any event, the foreign power knew they were messing with an election in each case.

I meant that we're not aware of specific conversations to manipulate the election, in the way we are aware of such conversation in the case of Reagan/Iran, e.g.

Russia and trump are connected enough so that Putin could have acted on his own, knowing that would be to his advantage. That's even worse, in fact, but possibly gets them the trumpies off any charge of conspiring with Russia to manipulate the election.

Well, other than donnie's very public plea for Russia to hack some American computers.....

They broke off hostage negotiations to make carter look bad so the voters would put Reagan in, who had promised them arms.

Remember, Trump doesn't pay his workers. They do it because they enjoy acting like asses, like their role model Trump.

... that there was no evidence to this. To which I kept slamming their noses in the fact they had ZERO evidence for the garbage they gleefully spewed about Hillary and Obama for years and years.

Oh, I'm going to have fun rubbing their noses in their own shit now. They are on the defensive, folks. They are carrying water for Cheeto Rapist Jesus. And they own it. I will be slamming them into their own statements. Again and again and again.
